Financial aid for students – 30 March 2020
Hannah Buchan, UMSU President
Jack Buksh, UMSU General Secretary
After putting lots of pressure on the University, we have made significant progress – the University has announced that they will be extending more financial aid to students.
It isn’t perfect however, and we have some issues that need addressing, as outlined in the video.
The process isn’t always simple, so we encourage any student who needs help with applications to contact UMSU Advocacy for assistance – suashelp@union.unimelb.edu.au
![Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution, or terror.
Today on World Refugee Day we honour refugees around the globe and recognise their plight and resilience in rebuilding their lives. It is an opportunity for us all to experience and celebrate the rich diversity of refugee communities. 💫
UMSU stands together to celebrate the strength, courage and perseverance of refugees and we seek to vigorously ensure that our community is welcoming to all. ✊
